Beef Goulash s fatty stew with bones
Salads- carrot salad had chunks of apple. More like an apple salad with mayo than carrot salad
Dessert s very good
Plates and Platters were absolutely brilliant! Efficient in communications, excellent execution and delicious food! We had 145 people at our event with many different dietary requirements and they catered to everything! Highly recommend them to anyone nting great service and good food! Thanks!
I had the absolute worst experience with this company. From the start, their communication s a nightmare – slow, confusing, and dismissive. They clearly don’t value their customers or respect people’s time. When I tried to clarify some issues, I s met with EXTREMELY rude responses. The staff I dealt with showed no professionalism, seemed irritated by basic questions, and made the entire process unnecessarily difficult.
It’s clear they have no idea how to handle customer service, and I would strongly advise anyone considering doing business with them to look elsewhere. There are plenty of companies that actually treat their customers with respect – this is NOT one of them.
If you nt to avoid frustration, delays, and being spoken to in a disrespectful manner, steer clear of this place! You’ve been rned.
Linda and her team never disappoint. Professional service, decadent food, immaculate decor. I will use her service without hesitation in the future and strongly recommend Plates and Platters for all your corporate events.
I attended an event where they did the catering. Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant displays and attention to detail. Top notch service
Fantastic service and amazing food. Linda arranged all my food and set up for me within 48 hours. The food s amazing, and the set up s so beautiful. We will definitely be using them again for our future events.
I always have a wonderful experience when using plates and platters. I have been using them for the past four years at least twice a month and still getting the best service. The team is very professional, clean, accommodating and most importantly they keep to the time schedules. They are never late for assignments and the food is delicious. Keep it up plates and platters. From UJ Library.
We used this company for a catered coroporate event that ran over 3 days. The service s exceptional, food s delicious and set-up s spectacular! I'd definitely recommend this company for corporate events, and we'll definitely add them to our 'most preferred' sevice provider list :)
Amazing food and great prices, I had them cater my wedding and it s absolutely delicious. The guys were so friendly and they went above and beyond on our special day. Great team!
This is the best experience I have had with a caterer for a very long time. The quality of food, service and level of professionalism s incredible and the presentation really next level! Thanks for helping to make my 70th really memorable!
